Coming live to you from my sick bed.... lol (dont worry I will be mindful not to breath, sneeze or cough on you!).
Dont you love it how you work your way through the week in a hurry to get to Saturday morning only to wake up on Saturday with a runny nose, eyes and feeling like crap? Hmmm. Well that's how I greeted today. Still, Iam glad that its Saturday after working 4 days at the wonderful world of Telstra.
First things first.
Today sees an update of the STALLION ROAD TEST with I have to say one of Queensland's finest! A very underated boy who has plenty of winners on the track (with some stakes winning progeny) still, the market seems to find him unfashionable for reasons best known to itself! Mind you, there is no accounting for taste! This boy has the looks and the pedigree and stood last year for $3,300 (including gst). If you want to have some fun on the racetrack (any racetrack and not limited to provincial) or if you want to send one of his yearlings to the sales... get yours mares to him. I know that he will be on our list of possibilities this year.
Gracie (Never Wrong, pictured above with Eric) has settled in nicely and had her shoes off late last week and will go out into the paddock with Joey and Southern tomorrow. We find that sometimes it takes horses straight off the track a few days to re adjust back to being "a horse" and Gracie was no different, however, she has gotten over all the silliness and is now nice and quiet and is eating up a treat.
Joey and Southern are developing their frienship by enjoying the sandroll in their paddock of a morning (at around 10am) and lying in the sun. It must be the universal time for horses to lie down around here as everywhere I turned this morning, all the horses were lying down enjoying the morning sun! Even Eric decided that our house paddock was the nicest spot for him to have a kip!
I have had to have a word into Joey's ear after she surfaced from her roll this morning and told her not to get too used to this holiday lifestyle as hopefully she will return to work in the near future!
Tomorrow sees us going around and hosing those who have had a mud therapy bath in the last few days. Great!
Well, time for me to climb up on the lounge, keep the tissues near and relax for a while.
I hope you enjoyed our second Stallion Road Test.
Helen.
